CHAINMAIL CHAIR
ca. 2021
Chainmail chair is a new take on William Katavolos 1952’s T-chair. Its seat is made up of hand-linked metal rings that come together to form a strong and flexible mesh, draping down its T-structure.
For the Chainmail chair, we sought to create a design that supported the idea of a body that is open to different forms of expression; to pain, to pleasure, to pleasure in pain, a body concentrated on its primal instincts. Chainmail chair ultimately seeks to express and question our wish for constraint.
Chainmail is a fascinating material. It consists of a series of hand-linked rings coming together to form a strong and flexible mesh that drapes like a textile. Simple in concept but extremely versatile and charged with meaning. The result of an old craft that somehow looks industrial and modern.

NICKEL-PLATED STEEL
DIMENSIONS:
120 (L) x 60 (W) x 60 (H) cm, 9 kg
